JBHUNT Ruined my career and DAC.

Dam that blows. Why wont JBHUNT just go under lol

 

it's a easy way for old jb to thin his herd

 

JB Hunt=Swift in disguise

 

They have DAC/USIS...We have these boards...
"We bash them, They bash us"..... I love this country

 

i use to b a big jb supporter considering my first fleet manager was great at his job. but no longer. i now work "local" hauling cars and make great money!! the company i work for doesnt use dac which i love. i am well respected treated with respect. i off every weekend home if not every night than everyother night. they pay for my hotel, food ( while im away on the road ) half my health insurance, and they pay for everything i need on the road. plus i bring home around $600-$1000 a week depending on how I wanna run. plus i only drive straight truck now. the biggest city that i go into is dc and baltimore and their just in and outs! lol dont worry, just keep looking and you can find a company that doesnt use dac. best of luck to ya my friend

 

Yea, but you still got to tell them why you got canned by JB and hope they believe you.

Up here in the NW it is hard to find anyone with Interstate authority that does not use DAC unless they are a small outfit. And even some of those outfits are now farming out the hiring process to pre-qualify applicants and cull the heard.

I had to go to 2 interviews and even take a ASFAB style test, a integrity test and some PE test that hurt my back for a couple of days to get the job I am at now.

And that was when the economy was not in the tank. I suspect now you will have to practically hire a employment coach to get a freaking $8.50 hr job , when they got hundreds of people applying for 1 meter reader job.

 

Does anybody know if, driving a dump truck gives you "seat time" towards your CDL?...so, you can get that experience(1 or 2 years??) , then (in a few years?),..when the economy is better??.. ; Apply to a local job.

 

Yea I would say any truck driving will get you experience to drive elsewhere. But for OTR they want that experience to be interstate experience.

Outfits where I live are even getting more specialized. Refer company's want time driving refer trucks. Delivery company's want time in doing route delivery, Drayage wants pier & rail work experience etc...

If it where me I would try to get experience in the specialty you want to do locally. Driving dump is not always year round and you could fill it in with another specialty by doing casual or temp work.

 

JBHUNT put this on my DAC as a preventable and rated it as a $4,000 incident so I can longer drive a truck. They did this to compile together another incident a yr. ago I had when an O/O who could barely speak English ran into the side of my container....CHP said it was not my fault and that damage was not sufficient enough to even make a report...WRONG!!!! Get a report because CHP officer was being lazy. JBHUNT saw it that I was to babysit the other driver and prevent him from hitting me and at the same time maintain control of my vehicle....Im so pissed off right now because ruining a drivers career and DAC so I cant drive for the competition is just WRONG and entirely UNETHICAL!!:smt067JBHUNT

Safety personel are intructed that there is no such thing as a non-preventable accidents, I believe that way if it comes down to it they can pass off the expense and blame on the driver and it will not hurt their insurance rating
